Plot synopsis
«Our Motherland» tells the story of the director's trip in search of
his classmates from school # 52 in Lvov with whom he studied in
Soviet times. It is made up of 33 short novellas about 33 classmates
of the author. Only a few of them still live in Lvov today.
The rest are scattered throughout the world. What can unite the
former pioneers of the «Gagarin» group? What does «motherland
» mean to them today, the motherland to which they swore
loyalty in the spring of 1973 when they joined the ranks of the pioneers?
